The difference between a leader & a critic is that a leader has to make decisions, abide by his decision & face the consequences, whereas a critic only pour criticism without bearing any responsibility (Malaysia 4th Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohammed)

CNY Reunion Dinner 2017 at Shang Palace, Shangri-La Hotel KL


30th January 2017

As usual, our reunion dinner normally will be at hotel around KL. This year, I chose Shangri-La coz I want something different and special.

Thus, off we go to Shang's Palace. I booked through phone in advance, just in case to avoid fully book (surprisingly, not even half of the table occupied on that day).

Ambience: Nice although the table arrangement is quite near to one another. 

Service: Good, waiter & waitress is attentive but not over friendly.

Taste-wise: Our family did not like it. If I have to rate, it will be 1/5. Sorry, not to our liking. Perhaps we should order the CNY combo instead of a-la-carte. Read about the dimsum here is quite good, will consider to re-visit for dimsum I guess.

On that day, we ordered:-

Chicken roll (Small) - RM28.30
2/5 - too sweet too our liking

Steam Western Garoupa - RM289.88
1/5 - not fresh at all

5 pieces of large tiger prawn with XO Sauce - RM240.15 (served individually on plate)
4/5 - The XO sauce save the dish

Scallop with asparagus - RM120.07
5/5 - Nice

Spicy chicken - RM30.02
2/5 - so so

Braised towfoo - RM32.59
5/5 - Nice

Yong Chow Fried Rice with Scallop - RM113.21
1/5 - salty and the lousiest fried rice I ever had in Chinese restaurant, sorry, need to be honest here.

Papaya avocado with vanilla ice cream - RM15.44
4/5 - quite refreshing

Mango Pudding - RM10.29
3/5 - average pudding

Red Bean - RM7.72
3/5 - bit bitter

Overall cost for 5 pax = RM 1,114.00
